Reborn in the fiery age, I am a salted fish in the mountains

Chapter 193 Sold for 365 Yuan
The silk, tea and porcelain of the Celestial Dynasty have been world-renowned fist products in all dynasties.

It's just that the tea from the Celestial Dynasty gradually declined, and the black tea mass-produced by the third brother occupied most of the overseas market.

Another piece of porcelain, due to the lack of major improvements over the years, has gradually been robbed of a lot of market share by products from a certain federal country.

Fortunately, there is still a silk, which is still prosperous and sold well at home and abroad.

In particular, the silk sold to Eastern Europe through the Economic and Trade Fair brought a lot of much-needed precious foreign exchange to China.

The Bashu area was originally a place rich in silk. At its peak, in the entire Bashu area, basically every township had a department that specialized in purchasing silkworm cocoons, called the Silkworm Cocoon Station.

Naturally, Fushun County also has a cocoon station.

Since silkworm cocoon purchases have a very distinct seasonality, the Fushun County Silkworm Cocoon Station will not be open for business during the off-season of product purchases.

During this period, the large and remote compound of Silkworm Cocoon Station often became a gathering place for young men and women who were secretly in love, or those of all kinds in society.

The reason why they choose to come here is to do something that each other likes to do, or doesn't like to do.

The main reason is that the courtyard of Silkworm Cocoon Station is shaded by trees and overgrown with weeds in some places, which is the easiest place to hide people.

Just climb up the big tree where the silkworm cocoon stands, and you can see if anyone is approaching here from a long distance.

If there is any emergency, these guys will burrow into the grass, and if others want to find them again, it will be as difficult as trying to find a hare on a barren hill.

And those guys who want to be cruel to certain people and want to teach them a lesson here.

They only need to bring the target into the weeds, and then they can do whatever they want, and it's useless to scream at him, because the area is too wide, and basically few people will come here.

Even if occasionally there is a couple of young men and women who come here to fall in love, they are both very busy, usually these people don't have the mind to meddle in other people's business.

Tonight, wait until the lights come on.

Those factory workers who went to work went home, ping-pong-pong finished cooking, and after they finished their meals, these urban residents who were severely lacking in entertainment activities did not want to waste electricity bills.

After washing their feet and urinating, they each climbed into bed with rotten cloth shoes and went to sleep.

By 9 o'clock in the evening, the entire county town had basically fallen into silence.

On the street, only a few main streets were lit with dim street lights, feebly providing illumination for the extremely rare pedestrians.

With a flashlight on, Han Xiaokang followed the path he had inquired from other residents and came to the wall behind the county silkworm cocoon compound.

In the wild grass, there are crickets courting, and some unknown bugs, singing softly there.

It was dark and quiet all around.

When Han Xiaokang found the big tree agreed on the note, he stood under the tree, quietly waiting for the mole to appear.
It didn't take a while.

On the wall where Silkworm Cocoon was standing, a black shadow quietly appeared.

"Turn off the flashlight, and remember not to shake it indiscriminately."

Han Xiaokang turned off the flashlight without saying a word.

"coming?"

"coming."

"Little brother, what do you want to sell?"

"Several Yuan Datou."

"A few Yuan Datou are worthless, little brother, don't you know that?"

"I know, you don't do business under 50 yuan."

"Since you know our rules, you still come to us with Yuan Datou? Do you have a lot of Yuan Datou?"

Standing on the high wall, the black shadow stared down at Han Xiaokang, "But from the way you walked up the slope, I can be sure that you are not carrying any heavy objects."

The mole in front of him was a little vague when he spoke, making it difficult to tell whether the other party was a man or a woman?
Intuition told Han Xiaokang: the mole in front of him is probably a woman.

It's just that when she was speaking, she not only pretended to be rough on purpose, but also seemed to have something in her mouth.

This made the Mole's speech always a little vague.

in the dark,

In fact, Han Xiaokang and Mole couldn't see each other clearly at all, let alone the eyes of each other.

But Han Xiaokang felt it. When the petite and exquisite mole in front of her was looking at her, she didn't seem to be very alert.

From her body, she didn't show even a trace of hostility.

This is why?

At this time, Han Xiaokang was not only a little puzzled.
"Tell me, how many things did you bring?"

Han Xiaokang replied, "There are five Yuan Datou, and there is also a small yellow croaker."

"Oh I got it."

Heiying took a thin rope from his waist and threw one end beside Han Xiaokang, "Tie your things to it, and I'll have a look first."

In the darkness, Han Xiaokang bent down and groped to pick up the rope.

It turned out that a small cloth bag was tied to the top of this small string, and a thin hemp rope was attached to the mouth of the cloth bag.

As long as you put the things in the small bag by yourself, and then tighten the hemp rope, you can tighten the cloth at the mouth, so as to prevent the things in the bag from falling out.

Han Xiaokang took out 5 silver dollars from his satchel, put them together with a small yellow croaker into the bag, then clapped his hands lightly, signaling to the other party that he had put them away.

"Let go of the rope and take 3 steps back."

Black Shadow ordered softly, "Don't try to pull the rope hard to pull me off the wall. This thin rope has been worn down in the middle, so it can't bear it."

I saw the other party gently pulling the rope, while admonishing Han Xiaokang, "The rope is weak, understand?"

Han Xiaokang nodded silently, "I'm here to sell things, not to fish, so why am I pulling you?"

The other party didn't speak, but just put the string up, and then took the small cloth bag on it, and was about to jump off the wall.
"and many more!"

Han Xiaokang said, "Are you going to take my things and just leave?"

"Oh? Are you worried about me?" The other party froze, "Since that's the case, then it's worth not making this deal."

While talking, the black shadow on the wall held up the small cloth bag, pretending to throw it back to Han Xiaokang, "We have our own rules when we do things, little brother, since you don't believe me so much, then we There is no need to continue."

Han Xiaokang sneered, "Inspect the goods face to face, as long as the goods are good, you should pay the money and the goods. Now you are leaving with your things. If you really run away, where can I find you?"

"Hehe. Since you are doing business and don't even have the minimum trust, what are you doing?"

Standing on the top of the wall, Heiying hesitated for a moment, "You don't want to inquire about it. From the old days to the present, in our business, have you ever gotten involved in other people's things?"

Han Xiaokang snorted coldly: "I don't understand the things on the road, even if you once took away other people's things, how would I know?"

"Ugh"

The black shadow trembled slightly, and finally made an exception and made a little concession: "How about this, you turn sideways, don't peek, I'll just look at the goods on the wall, how about it?"

Han Xiaokang glanced at the black shadow on the fence, but in the end he could only turn around slightly to avoid facing him face to face.

Mole and the others do this kind of business, which is a kind of business that often walks by the river, and if you don't pay attention, your shoes will get wet.

Even if they succeed in trading ten times, if they miss one, the losses they encounter will be particularly serious.

Therefore, every time a transaction is made, the moles are very cautious, just to prevent encountering those who come to dig holes for them.

And those who come to trade with Mole, unless they are regular customers who have delivered many times, otherwise, Mole will not inspect the goods in front of customers.

They often take the goods aside, carefully inspect the quality of these goods, and then come back to start bargaining.

After such an operation, the people who came to sell the goods naturally felt the same as Han Xiaokang, worried about being swept away.

For this situation, the Mole certainly knew it well.

But for their own safety, moles never budge in this respect.

These people uphold a concept: continue if you believe in it, and pull it down if you don't believe it.

Moles tend to forego a deal rather than take the slightest risk.

tonight,

The mole standing on the wall actually made a big concession to Han Xiaokang.

After Han Xiaokang turned his body sideways, Heiying took out a very small flashlight from her waist, which seemed to be specially improved and made by hand.

She also turned sideways slightly, then put the flashlight directly into the cloth bag, and then turned on the switch on the flashlight.

The fabric used to sew the cloth bag is so thick that the weak light of the flashlight cannot penetrate it at all.

So even Han Xiaokang, who was standing not far from the wall, could not see the face of the mole clearly even if he looked at it intently.

What's more, the other party's face is still covered with a black cloth, how can one see the slightest clue?
So Han Xiaokang just glanced at the other party out of the corner of his eye, then simply turned his head away and stopped looking at her.

At this time, the mole standing on the wall was busy observing the little yellow croaker inside with the help of the small gap on the cloth bag.

As for Yuan Datou, Mole has seen a lot.

They only need to measure the weight with their hands in the dark, and then blow on it, and then they can distinguish the fineness of these Yuan Datou.

So the mole on the wall, what she was watching carefully now, was the little yellow croaker in the bag.

This mole was obviously very experienced, she just turned on the flashlight and briefly glanced at the color of the small gold bar.

Then he pinched it with his fingers, and then quickly turned off the flashlight.

The surroundings suddenly fell into darkness again.

Wei Wei was silent for a moment, maybe the mole on the wall wanted to use this short time to restore her eyesight.

Then she asked slowly, "Little brother, how much do you want to sell these things for?"

Han Xiaokang asked, "What price can you offer? For example, Yuan Datou, how much can you give for one?"

I don't know much about the current gold market, I only know a rough idea.

But because when Yuan Datou was in the hotel, that fat Miaomiao had already given him a price, so Han Xiaokang planned to use the price of silver dollars first to try the other party's sincerity?

"I'll give you 3 yuan for silver dollars. Don't haggle with me. This is not buying soybeans and peanuts in the pigeon market. You have to argue for a long time for 6 cents or 2 cents."

The mole said, "Little brother, your little yellow croaker is produced by Rongjin Bank, and the purity is still guaranteed. In the past, buying and selling these things was based on 'two', but now it is about grams. I will give you 10 yuan per gram. How about it?"

Han Xiaokang thought about it carefully.

It seems that when I was reading some documents before, I vaguely remembered that in the 5s and 60s, the international gold price was about 20 yuan per gram.

Calculated in this way, the mole in front of him actually only gave himself half of the market price?
This is a bit dark!
So Han Xiaokang finally asked, "10 yuan per gram, are you earning too much?"

"The profit in our business is low, who will do it?"

Mole didn't hide it, but replied generously, "I don't even think about it, even if we succeed in trading 10 times, if we are caught once, what a terrible price we have to pay?"

What the other party said is also reasonable. For partial business, high risk is bound to be accompanied by high profit.

"Give me 13 yuan for 1g!"

Han Xiaokang sighed, "You can earn 7 yuan just by flipping your hands. A profit of 35 points is enough. After all, this is hard currency, isn't it?"

"Hehehe, I didn't expect you, a boy from the mountains, to know the market outside?"

Han Xiaokang's answer was beyond the other party's expectation, and the mole laughed on the spot, "Little brother, eavesdropping on that kind of channel will be decapitated! I will not dare to do such things in the future. Curiosity killed the cat." !"

It turned out that the other party thought that Han Xiaokang had a radio at home and eavesdropped on some foreign stations that he shouldn't have listened to?
The mole standing on the wall smiled so abruptly that her female voice was revealed.

I only heard someone inside the fence, and immediately someone coughed in a low voice.

The girl on the fence was so shocked that she quickly silenced her voice, and began to bargain with Han Xiaokang again in a slightly hoarse, ambiguous voice, "13 yuan is impossible, after all, after we get the goods, we still need to resell them." In this way, I will add 1 yuan to you, and if we think it is successful, we will make a deal, and if it is not good, we will make a deal."

"So be it."

Han Xiaokang quickly blocked the other party's mouth, "A small yellow croaker is 31.6 grams, and you have to give me 347 yuan 6. 5 Yuan Datou, 18 yuan, a total of 365 yuan 6. Forget the 6 cents, just treat it as me. I invite you to eat popsicles."

Mole smiled slightly in the dark, but she was taken aback in her heart: this guy in front of him is too good at mental arithmetic, right?
We must know that in this period, people who can read and write are considered good.

Because the quality of basic education is generally not high, the big guys do the rough calculations, but in fact most people feel that it is very difficult.

Even if it is a very simple calculation problem, countless people are still working on it with their fingers or even their toes.

Counting with your fingers for a long time, you can calculate clearly.

Unless they are those who have been in the business industry for a long time, otherwise, ordinary people are not so smart.
And Han Xiaokang in front of him calculated this result so accurately in an instant, how could Mole not be surprised?
In fact, Mole certainly knew that the amount given by Han Xiaokang was correct.

However, Mole didn't calculate the calculation results, but she had been working in this industry for a long time. What is the value of gold bars of various weights?
The mole has long been able to memorize it without calculation.

Wait until the money is paid.

Mole stood on the wall and gave Han Xiaokang a complicated look, then turned around and was about to jump off the wall and leave.

But Han Xiaokang yelled softly: "Wait a minute!"
